Cold for Cattle.

There is no Disgusting the fact that ap-
prehensions of very severe losses in cattle
are well founded. The severe storms of
snow and intense cold Of the past week
have greatly increased the fears generally
felt by stockmen for the safety of their
herds. The most imminent danger threat
ems the thousands of young, i~ll-conditioned
cattle driven and brought into the terri
tory by rail last season from the east dur
ing the summer and autumn of last year.
In all this class of cattle delivered and put
out to Craze on the over fed and short
browsed grass ranges of Montana last
year there were probably $4,000 head
We are inclined to believe what we every
where hear, that comparatively few of
these cattle have any fair chance of sur
native acclimated cattle have a much bet
ter show of life, and stockmen are gener-
ally hopeful that, with favorable condi-
tons following the past and present vista
tons of deep snow and evere cold, a great
part of their herds will be preserved and
the spring count show up respectable in
numbers. A material moderation in the
weather would be greatly welcomed just
now, and that being realized a change of
feeling among the stochgrowers would be
observed at once.-Hefad-

Combat Between a Bull and a Stallion.

Louisville, Ky, special: A fatal combat
took place this morning in a cattle car on
the Air Line road between an Attorney
bull and a Norman stallion. The two
animals were were boxed in a car yester-
day at Depauw, Ind, by Cute Edinburg
for shipment to this city. A strong parti-
ton was built between the two animals,
but it was broken down and the brutes
engaged in deadly combat. When the
fighting was heard the train was stopped
and the crew gathered around the car, but
no means could be devised for stopping
the fight. The iron-shod heels of the
horse were planted with telling effect upon
the bulls head, and the horse was gored in
a horrible manner Finally he got in a
blow between the eyes of the bull, and
the latter animal fell dead. The combat
lasted thirty-fye minutes. The horse died
four hours later.

Rumors of War.
extreme pov

San Francisco Gull: The rumors of an
impending conflict in Europe are causing
some amount Of lneasiness amongst those
of our foreign citizens hailing from France
ana Switzerland. Owing to an imperfect
understanding of the laws regulating
military CONSUMPTION, etc, many expect
that the French government possesses and
can exercise the power Of demanding their
raturn to the country for the purpose OF
taking up arms, in case Of an outbreak OF
hostilities. 1t was even reported yester-
day that an order had been received at the
French and Swiss consulates, demanding
the immediate return to France and Swift
erland. OF a large number Of California
residents. who had not completed their
three years service in the army. Inquiry
at the French consulate ELECTED a total
denial of the rumor. Consul Carey stated
however, that his government possessed
the power, but never exercised it further
than to demand that French residents ow-
ing military service, must report at the
consulate at Leaf once a year. Antoine
Borel, the Swiss consul, also stated that
the N current to the effect that a
colony of Swiss at Healdsburg had re-
ceived orders to return to Switzerland was
without the slightest truth. The Swiss
government did not even possess the
power Of interfering with her citizens
while residing in another country.

Sparks Defends HALEY.

Washington special: An amusing scene
occurred today in Commissioner Sparks
office. Congressman Foran, of Ohio, went
in to see the commissioner and persuade
him to remove Special Timber Agent Hait-
cy of Missoula, Montana. HALEY is an Ohio
man, a republican and lives in Foran's dis
trict. Before civil service refom he was a
strong fighter against Foran, and now the
latter wants his scalp. Sparks refused fatty
to do what Mr.. Foran wanted. "Hailey,"he
said sis one OF the best agents we nave,
and | don't care il he is arepublican; he is
going to stay in. He is in accord with the
administration, with Secretary Lamar and
with myself upon the present land policy.
He is trying with all his might to help US
enforce it. | will not have him put out"
This made Foran angry and he retorted:
"Well, sir, you are not the man for your
place, and | think you ought to be removed
as we'll as HALEY. Neither your country
nor your party desire your services and
you ought to have the grace to step down
and out of your office" At this Mr..
Sparks rose from his seat and said, with a
good deal of vehemcnce: Il know the
people of yonr district at last falls election
said very plainly that you were not the
man to represent them. You are the last
man in the world who ought to come here
and tell me to go out Of this office. Now,
Mr.. Foran, you get out of this Office at
once. # you don't I'll pat you out With
this the commissioner advanced in IN atti-
tude Of perfect readiness for a fight. Mr.
Foran did not stop any longer.

Heavens! but they were as perfect speci-
mens Of manhood as ever wore saber and
sword. Quicker than the telling Warren
drew his revolver and fred one shot; he
| asked no questions, never uttered II
word. and Hildebrant fell pierced through
the heart.
Gas he lay gasping and his eyes glazing
Warren stopped overasif c~uriously watch
ing the awful change. In that instant the
heart blood seemed to clog, and the blood
gathered for a final effort.
"With superhuman energy he raised on
his elbow, wrenched the smoking pistol
from Warren's hand and shot. The ball
went home, but as | sit here | can swear
that before the trigger fell Hildebrant was
dead. There they lay within a foot of
each other, the bit Of papsrcrimsoned with
the blood of each. Reverently we left it
tight clutched in the suffering hand, and
| can't tell you how we fellows felt when
the boy, coming near, looked into the dead
faces. He was then about 3years old, and
has probably no recollection Of the event.
''Mrs. Warren never saw her husband or
lover. if lover he was. The frightened
nurse and child carried her the news, and
oblivion mercifully followed the shock.
She never rallied from the insanity that
| from the first assumed the form of deep
melancholy. She never was violent or
given to condolences, and if guilt was on
her soul she took it unshrived to her God.
We all loved her, for a fairer, gentler,
more w~ern-hearted lady never frightened
garrison days, and there wasn't a man of
us who wouldn't fight for her. The two
officers were buried in the little soldiers
cemetery, but | tell you We put 'em far
apart, and the volley fred over Hide

child his proud heart could i'll brook the
well-meaat sympathy Of his neighbors, and
he came to st. Louis. He bought d pretty
home, remote from the thickly settled

him. Mrs. Warren died 10 years ago, and
that boy you see there is acquainted with
all the circumstances.

tired mother died, she seemed to remem-
